Impressively, Musk said he would, in a response on Twitter. And true to his word, Musk called up the Oatmeal to confirm that he would donate $1 million to the cause--and put a Tesla Supercharger in the parking lot.

That's a pretty good idea--it seems likely that plenty of Model S owners would want to visit a museum dedicated to the guy their cars are named after.

The money probably won't be enough to turn the old laboratory into a museum--the Oatmeal estimates that around $8 million is needed to do that.

But it's a pretty good start, and entirely appropriate from the CEO of a car company that not only bears the name of the brilliant inventor, but also uses a great deal of technology that might not have existed had Tesla not pioneered it.
